Stunning Luxury Heritage Holiday Cottage In Medieval Cheshire Market Town
Close To Chester, Liverpool, North Wales, Cheshire Oaks, Chester Zoo And Manchester
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
A wonderfully quirky timbered house in a medieval market town close to Chester. Immaculate, packed with charm and olde worlde character.
It fits right into this traditional Cheshire market town: a half-timbered cottage from 1645 with original wooden pegs, wattle and daub and a stylish twist. Everything kindles quirk and charm, from studded oak door to spacious wooden stairs up to the cosy mezzanine 'library' overlooking the expansive living room. Timber beams spider over walls and down cathedral ceilings. Step into the elegant dining room with sophisticated table and chairs for four,, through to a modern country kitchen, then saunter up gleaming stone stairs to the living room's comfy sofa and rug-topped floors. The master bedroom has an oak dresser and fireplace with views over the main street; the second double room overlooks a leafy, secluded courtyard. A perfect romantic retreat

Notes on accommodation
Although centrally located in the heart of Frodsham stepping through the door into The Cottage makes you feel as though you are in a retreat but have the convenience of everything so close by. It is like going back in time seeing all the period features although it has been furnished and equipped for modern day living. See the wattle & daube walls which in places were left exposed during the loving restoration of this fabulous cottages in collaboration with English Heritage. For total peace & solitude take the small staircase up into the roof where the library is located and have a good old read. Or, sit in the rear courtyard and smell Sue Cowards famous pies being baked! The Cottage is a hit with the ladies as either side are two fabulous ladies dress shops making it heaven!
